R + w = 50
r = 6w + 1
now we sub ..
6w + 1 + w = 50
7w + 1 = 50
7w = 50 - 1
7w = 49
w = 49/7
w = 7 <== white beads
r = 6w + 1
r = 6(7) + 1
r = 42 + 1
r = 43 <=== red beads
Answer:
1m = 100 cm
First sprinter stride is 120 cm. Steps he will take
= 100/1.2 = 83 1/3 steps
Second sprinter takes a stride of 75 cm
= 100/0.75 = 133 1/3 steps
You can use factors to solve. Determine all the factor pairs of 24, find the two that are two numbers apart.
1, 24 X
2, 12 X
3, 8 X
4, 6 YES!
Algebraic way to solve using Quadratics:
l = 2 + w
A = lw
A = (2 + w)w Substitute (2 + w) for l
24 = (2 + w)w Substitute 24 in for the area
24 = 2w + w^2 Distribute
w^2 + 2w - 24 = 0 Set equal to 0 (put in standard form)
(w + 6) (w - 4) = 0 Factor
w + 6 = 0 and w - 4 = 0 Set each factor equal to 0.
So w= -6 or w = 4 ... -6 makes no sense for a length! So the width must be 4 and the length will be 4 + 2, which is 6.
Answer:
$17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
50 is 1/2 of 100, so just divide 35 by 1/2
